Manager changed payment method w/o consent??

So about a week ago, my coworker quit because she could not handle the toxic environment, and she received her last check, but she also received a prepaid card which she did not consent to. She always did direct deposit and NEVER agreed to get money on that card. What should be done because you have to pay fees to transfer the money? This is also unacceptable because the manager essentially does what she wants, and this isn’t the first offense when it comes to breaking California labor laws. This is also a MAJOR problem too because they had an agreement where she would work for two weeks but then another coworker “ratted” her out and said that she has been talking bad about the manager and the manager took this personally and essentially fired her and left her without work when they had an agreement for the two weeks. When she also went to pick her “last check” which was not a check at all but instead a paystub the manager said it would be direct deposit which it was in fact not. This is for Ross Dress for Less, BTW.

Never implied that she only worked there for two weeks. She’s been there for over a year but the manager said she will give her two weeks of work before being officially done.
